There's another long-shot possibility. If the HD was replaced at some point (it's old enough it could have been), the person who installed the new drive and OS 10 might not have installed the OS 9 drivers if he never intended to use the Mac with OS 9. Boot from your OS 10 install disk and see if you can install the OS 9 drivers. Can't remember if you have to reinitialized the HD to do this, so make a backup.
